I played it at Blizzcon. I should be in the Beta. I bought the WoW XPS Laptop and I get 5 free beta keys. I'm pretty sure it works for all blizz products, not just WoW. I checked last night and they said for those with other promotions they will email me a code. They did the same with Wrath of the Lich King, just wasn't immediate.

Giving away three free months of World of Warcraft + copy of game. PM me for details.

I'm going to buy it very soon. Can't wait for this one. I don't care about not having LAN capability or the other common gripes. I spent the majority of my freshman year in college addicted to Starcraft 1, so I hope I can have just as much fun with Starcraft 2. If my wife lets me, that is.

I got it on launch day, been playing it ever since. The story is great (but not as solid as the 1st), and I really like the diversity of the single player

Most everyone I know is playing multi but I am in it for the single player right now

The game is really scaleable, I am playing it on my 2008 Macbook (using Windows XP via Boot Camp because the OS X Video drivers are not optimized so I get almost double the performance using updated drivers on Windows) using mostly Medium settings (so the game all around is on par with say an Xbox 360 release)

Even on Low the game looks great (missions look like PS2 and the in game Cinematics look like PS2)

There is a handful of pre-rendered CGI story parts, but most of the in game cinematics/story are all engine rendered which means if you have the equipment for it all the in between stuff like upgrading and talking to people on your ship are in the quality of the trailers which is VERY impressive.

I got the CE which is totally worth it for the art book, comic book, starcraft anthology on a USB drive shaped like Raynors dog tag and a behind the scenes DVD.

I've had a lot going on so I haven't played it too much but so far I'm very impressed with story mode.

I am about 1/3 of the way done and I really like the narrative and way its constructed

I have heard complaints its very 90's and like the "old school" of PC games but I think thats exactly why its been so highly anticipated.

Along the way between 1998-2010 PC gaming has lost something imho, with the advent of console gaming making the most $$$ (WoW aside) a lot of developers seem to think high end graphics = win and it does not.

Too bad the multiplayer are only on regional section. It feels worthless to buy nearly 250 MYR or 85 USD and couldn't play with other people from around the world.

Finally finished the game, I like the final mission except for failing on the first time. Glad I knocked out the air support on the previous mission and banshees flame up the Nydus Worm. I don't really care about Achievement now but all I'm looking forward is to play Multiplayer with other, but as my previous post said: you only can play with your region friends instead of playing with anyone in the whole world. Except for my Australian buddies (If you're interested).

I should have mentioned the save feature is a little annoying. I don't remember exactly, but if you don't have any save points before the final mission you can't go back to the lab or something like that. Really ticked me off the first time I played it.

I think the final mission's set up that way... you're not supposed to be able to go back to the Lab.

You should upgrade all the research before going to Char. I'm sure that there will be no credit or research on the final mission.

Edit: Also the save feature is some sort of Fallout 3 system as you might load back if you made a grave mistake or strategy on your current mission. Like Fallout 3 you can go through all the autosave if you miss something on the mission.
